GSP Course Taken at Another IARU** Institution

If you wish to transfer the credit in from one of the other GSP courses, the credit earned is considered transfer credit. Speak to your residential college dean and DUS before you attend the GSP course to discuss how and if the credit earned from a GSP course can be transferred as outside credit.

Some points to consider about transfer credit

• The Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) in the subject of a course taken must approve the award of credit.

• You need an official transcript for the work completed at the foreign university. One may be sent by the school you attended to the GSP coordinator at Yale at the conclusion of the program. Check with the GSP coordinator of the university you attended. If you would like other copies of your official transcript, you should request one from the school before you depart from the program.

• A grade of “C” or above is required for transfer credit.
• The course must be at least 4 weeks long and must carry similar contact hours to that of courses at Yale.

*Students from other IARU Institutions should check with their university official or GSP Coordinator on the transferability of credits earned at Yale University.
